Celebration of Life

Hello All!

I was just
checking back at March blog posts and it was full of fun projects and
events. Unfortunately, on March 26, I lost my husband Chuck after a long
illness. Life sure does take a turn and as graciously as you can, you
stop while the world spins around you. Chuck was always very supportive
of my Designing, very proud and one of my biggest cheerleaders. He would
want me to continue down this path and I will, making him as proud as I
can. Thank you to those of you who have sent condolences, to those of you
that knew him and have been willing to share your memories of him. We
will be celebrating on Saturday, May 4 from 5:00 – 8:00 pm with a
Potluck. This is what he wanted and no one loved a potluck more than he
did. Our family will gather, our children and grandchildren to
“Celebrate.” We hope you and your family will come and join us.
Bring a covered dish to share if you wish.

The Final
“Snowbuddie” Embroidery Pattern
- I was so proud that I had them all designed, but here we are a bit late
getting the final design out to you. We began last May with the June themed
block, so we have come full circle. Remember that these designs are only
available to download until May 3lst and will be removed at that time.
The complete pattern will come out at a later date. Available now is the
complete kit of the “Snowbuddies” project available in wool. See our
March 8 Blog for pictures and information on this project.

“HAPPY SPRING”
CHATALAINE - I
promised you a Project of the Month and here is one that you will love.
It is quick and easy. So….featured is this Chatalaine kit that features 1
½ yds of woven green ribbon that has “Happy Spring” printed on it. At one
end of the ribbon you construct a 2 ½” X 2 ½” wool pin cushion that has three
pretty little wool flowers appliqued on it. The other end of the ribbon
is folded over with a snap attached so that you can snap on your favorite
scissors. This kit is being offered for $7.25 and if you order by April
30, we will include three cute pins with Buttons on the head of the pin for
Free ($4.75 Value). (I glued these myself last night!!) These kits can be found on our etsy shoppe, Wooly Moments.

Painted
Backdoor - Savannah
and I are breaking out the paint and brushes and plan to finish our Backdoor
project. Winter and cold weather brought us to a halt, but we plan to put
our finishing touches on it. We will post a photo as soon as we complete
it.

Mini Moments
from Bee………………………………

I am very excited because on Sunday I have my last dance competition. It is sad for me to see the competition season come to an end. I can't wait till next competition season though. I am hoping that my dance studio will end the competition season with the best competition ever!

I can't believe it only about a month before summer! I can't wait till summer! Check out some great summer recipes by going to the recipe page on the blog. I hope you have a great weekend!

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It's such a difficult adjustment. I pray that God gives you strength and peace to go through they difficult time. I will keep you in my prayers. Be especially blessed, Kathy
